In April 2023 the SRA introduced new rules on health and wellbeing in the workplace with accompanying guidance.
The Codes of Conduct were updated to include specific obligations for firms and individuals to treat colleagues fairly and with respect, and not to bully or harass them or discriminate unfairly against them, and for managers (the partners/members of the firm), an obligation to challenge behaviour which does not meet this standard. The SRA also clarified the approach to situations where a solicitor’s health issues may affect their ability to practise or to participate in enforcement processes.
The training is about compliance with the new SRA rules on workplace culture and behaviour and is aimed at those with responsibility for compliance and people management.
The training is delivered by the LawCare training team alongside LawCare trustees.
LawCare are taking bookings from firms and organisations for the end of September onwards. Email support@lawcare.org.uk and one of their training team will get back to you.
